This week was ass on a stick, but this makes up for it. Really beautiful. I love how I feel like I can almost hear Arkady's voice in *my* head... she comes across as having a certain voice, and that is really cool. I don't usually get that kind of auditory link from comics.

I really, really want to thank Warren and Paul and the Avatar crew for bringing this to us every week. It's just brilliant to have a work of this quality metered out to us for nothing at all on our part. Of course, I am one of many who will be buying the trade(s) - but none the less, it makes my late Thursday night insomnia bearable, knowing it's flipped to Friday in other parts of the world.

Well, I have the center of a storm above me as I type that has meandered across Florida this week in a half-assed attempt to bring the watery environs of Freakangels to my state. The tree outside my door didn't even loose a branch this time. Luckily Friday morning is still a constant.

Sirrka shockingly clothed, and Arkady sobering up perhaps? I feel bout 4-5 weeks of nicely paced revelations of how often the 'Angels get attacked, shadowy words exchanged within the factions of the 'Angels themselves, and maybe a hint if either of our unrevealed characters are in the same league of being a prick as Luke. Bonus: whatever happens at nighttime in Whitechapel when you have no electricity.

That and a rematch of Luke/Arkady or Luke/Kirk would snap us back to blood, telepathy & big guns time.

Paul's sky is brilliant. I also love how Arkady frames the down-the-dock shot. I could still feel Sirkka's "come home" request from last week in the dock scene, and combined with the color palette this week, I had all sorts of warm fuzzies. I find it amusing that as we're coming into autumn and winter, we're also going into evening and night in Whitechapel. I'm hoping night isn't as bleak as winter...

The week:

Pretty ass all week. Those who keep up with me on twitter know (probably) that they done took my interwubs away, so I've been phonernetting it. While I love my phone, I do wish I had a bluetooth keyboard. My thumbs get sore. The lack of net has been making me catch up on some games I've been meaning to play, though.

Oh, and also I ran into my ex-fiance that was supposed to have moved back downstate. If she moved back up here to go to school that means she'll be attending class less than a block away from my apartment. But at least we might be moving in the near future...

Also the starter went out in my car, so there's an expense I ould have liked not to incur.

But, as I said, we might be moving, which I'll provide more details on later, since this isn't Saturday and I'm treading dangerously close to Stomp territory.

this was very nice. there was a refreshing overtone of humanity in this weeks snippet. i also agree with most everyone; paul, you do for lines and colors what warren does for words: make them most tasty. there was a tasty thickness in this one that was almost musical.

You know, I grew up with the hair-raising sound of air-raid sirens and the nauseating thought of the nukes coming. I can only imagine the comfort from an "All is Well" announcement across a plaza and this episode is probably as close as I'll get. Thanks for that.
